INTRODUCTION The collections of the Austin History Center contain valuable materials about Austin’s African American communities, although there is much that remains to be documented. The materials in this bibliography are arranged by collection unit of the Austin History Center. Within each collection unit, items are arranged in shelf-list order. This bibliography is one in a series of updates of the original 1979 bibliography. It reflects the addition of materials to the Austin History Center based on the recommendations and donations of many generous individuals and support groups. The Austin History Center card catalog supplements the online computer catalog by providing analytical entries to information in periodicals and other materials in addition to listing collection holdings by author, title, and subject. These entries, although indexing ended in the 1990s, lead to specific articles and other information in sources that would otherwise be time-consuming to find and could be easily overlooked.

The Contemporary Austin Brings Exhibition by Artist Abraham Cruzvillegas to Its Downtown Museum Location, the Jones Center on Congress Avenue

After its presentation in Austin, the exhibition will travel to Aspen in fall 2019. Abraham Cruzvillegas: Hi, how are you, Gonzo? March 30 – July 14, 2019 MARCH 18, 2019, AUSTIN, TEXAS – From March 30 through July 14, 2019, The Contemporary Austin—led by Executive Director and CEO Louis Grachos—will present an exhibition by artist Abraham Cruzvillegas (born 1968 in Mexico City) at its Jones Center location, 700 Congress Avenue in downtown Austin. Abraham Cruzvillegas: Hi, how are you, Gonzo? will fill both floors of the museum with site-specific, mixed media work in which recycled materials are transformed into abstract sculptural objects. These objects are then used as platforms to engage other artists, community members, and museum visitors as active participants in the artworks, allowing for creativity, experimentation, and social dialogue through collaborative “activations” that complete and transform the works on view. The exhibition is co-organized by Heather Pesanti, Chief Curator & Director of Curatorial Affairs at The Contemporary Austin, and Heidi Zuckerman, the Nancy and Bob Magoon CEO and Director of the Aspen Art Museum, where the exhibition will be on view from October 25, 2019, through January 2020. Abraham Cruzvillegas’s dynamic artistic practice begins with the concept of autoconstrucción—loosely defined as “self-construction,” an idea inspired by the artist’s home outside Mexico City and his interest in transformation, collaboration, and improvisation.
